[Q] Verizon sending replacement

Because of a failed top mic, Verizon is sending me a replacement Note 2, which I'm sure will come with the OTA 4.3. I'm assuming this means I might as well get ready to live with stock. Is there anything I can do, other than just send the replacement back and live with my top mic not working?
